The IRC’s Pathways to Citizenship program strives to ensure equal protection under the law and civic integration of refugees and immigrants by assisting them to achieve U.S. citizenship. The IRC offers high-quality, low-cost immigration legal services and citizenship assistance in 22 cities across the U.S. Our comprehensive immigration services are provided by fully qualified IRC staff accredited by the U.S. Department of Justice's Board of Immigration Appeals.

We assist with applications for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Unlawful Presence Waivers while supporting Comprehensive Immigration Reform to provide a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

We assist refugees, immigrants and other qualified individuals with a range of other routine immigration matters, such as employment authorization, travel documents and document replacement.

The IRC, which helps resettle thousands of refugees in the United States each year, applauds President Barack Obama’s decision and welcomes the administration’s plans to encourage naturalization for those immigrants who qualify to apply for citizenship.

How You Can Help

Volunteers and interns play an integral role in the IRC's efforts to provide quality comprehensive immigration services to refugees and other immigrants. The IRC’s 22 offices across the United States each offer a variety of volunteer and internship opportunities throughout the year, including assistance with English as a second language (ESL) and civics classes.

Our Supporters

We are grateful to count on the support of The Grove Foundation, the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), and more than 18 funders across the US in advancing citizenship and immigration services at the IRC.
